What can happen if you have your seat pulled too far forward while autocrossing?

You can get lots of blue smoke because of ABS loss and your tires might end up looking like below. This is what happened to me on the second time I accidently turned off the ignition! Yes, the second time even after removing the key fob/ring/extra keys. The first time was my last timed run and I thought I had fuel starvation until I noticed the dash was dark. Both incidents happened after a fast stretch and braking heavy into a tight corner. Apparently I moved the seat up too far and my knee hit the ignition when applying the brakes and doing the heel toe downshift.

I know others that have done this in a Miata and another in an S2000. The guy with the Miate filed his key down as small as he could get it, I just moved my seat back two clicks. I don't think I'll be messing with the key since it has a security chip inside it.

Anyone know of a used 225/50/16 Victoracer for sale?

If you don't want to mess with the key, you could just file down your knee.
